Mythical Cultivation

After spreading the news, the three followed the man into the cave. Not long after Wu Ming and his companions entered, they saw three more people emerge from the cave. One of them was the man who had just fought Wu Ming and his companions, and the other two were the fellow apprentices who had discussed killing Wu Ming and his companions in the Taohua Mountain Market. When they emerged, they only saw the body of one of their companions, but not Wu Ming and his companions.

"Didn't you say that three people broke in? Where are they?" asked the handsome young man.

"I just saw them kill my junior brother, so I broke into the cave. Now the formation has not been broken, which means they are still inside the formation. Could they have entered the cave?" The young man using the harpoon magic weapon said anxiously.

"Oh no, they must have entered the cave. Don't let them take the things away. Let's go in too." The senior brother also reacted and hurriedly entered the cave again.

After Wu Ming and the other two entered the cave, they were greeted by a vast medicinal garden. "Perilla fruit, Heavenly Spirit Fruit, Blood Dragon Grass, Bright Heart Flower, Jasper Ganoderma, all over a hundred years old. This is a bonanza!" Wu Ming's usually indifferent attitude waned at this moment. The impact of these things was too great, like a worker who normally earns a few thousand yuan a month winning five million in the lottery. Even the most serene mind couldn't avoid the shock.

Mei Lingshuang and Huang Hao were also stunned. Jadeite Ganoderma is one of the main ingredients for the foundation-building pill, and its own value is over a thousand spirit stones. Several other spiritual medicines are also materials for the foundation-building pill and are very valuable. What's more, there are dozens of spiritual medicines in this garden, and they are all over a hundred years old. The total value must be tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

Wu Ming reacted and said, "Quick, let's get the spiritual herbs first before the people from the Netherworld Sect show up, as many as we can." After that, he raised the Qingyun Sword and attacked the restriction on the surface of a Jadeite Ganoderma in front of him. There were restrictions above each spiritual herb, which were set up by the owner of the cave to prevent insects and beasts from destroying it. Generally, it can be broken by those in the middle stage of Qi training, so Wu Ming only used three attacks to break the restriction.

Wu Ming took out a medicine shovel from the storage bag and carefully dug out the chalcedony ganoderma and put it into the jade box. In order to ensure the efficacy of the elixir, he put it in a jade box to prevent the loss of the medicinal properties of the elixir to the greatest extent. Of course, it will still be lost over time. The best thing is to place a restriction on the surface of the jade box. Unfortunately, Wu Ming has never learned the restriction, so he can only settle for the second best. Anyway, he will sell these elixirs when he goes out.

Mei Lingshuang and Huang Hao, like Wu Ming, broke the restrictions, dug out the spiritual herbs, and put them into jade boxes, just like three diligent herbal farmers. Just as the three of them were happily digging for spiritual herbs, Huang Hao suddenly heard a voice in his heart: "Stop digging, someone is coming." The leader was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. When Huang Hao heard that there was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, he quickly stopped what he was doing and said, "Stop digging, someone is coming."

Upon hearing that a Foundation Establishment cultivator had arrived, Wu Ming and Mei Lingshuang immediately stopped what they were doing. "Should we chase him away first and then dig? We still have nearly half the spiritual herbs left to dig," Wu Ming said. "We can't chase him away. He's a Foundation Establishment cultivator. We need to escape first." Upon hearing that it was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, Wu Ming and Mei Lingshuang couldn't care less about the spiritual herbs. They decided to run first, affixing swift talismans to their bodies and quickly moving in the direction Huang Hao had indicated.

Less than a cup of tea after the three of them left, three cultivators flew in from the horizon, led by Senior Brother Ouyang. What came into view was a devastated medicinal garden with more than 20 spiritual herbs left in it.

"Brother Ouyang, this must be the work of those three little thieves. We must catch them," said the cultivator holding the harpoon. Seeing the spiritual herbs in the medicine garden, which were all white spiritual stones, the pits left by digging for the herbs were like someone had robbed your spiritual stones, which was heartbreaking.

"You two go chase them first. I'll collect the remaining spiritual medicines and then catch up. You two chase them in the west." Senior Brother Ouyang pointed in the direction Huang Hao was leading. The two looked at the remaining spiritual medicines and although they were a little reluctant, they had to obey.

"Don't worry, you have a share of the elixir, as I said before."

After hearing what Senior Brother Ouyang said, the two of them raised their flying swords and chased in the direction Senior Brother Ouyang pointed. Although Huang Hao and the other two had dealt with the traces along the way, nothing could escape the spiritual awareness of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, and the spiritual awareness range of a Foundation Establishment cultivator was at least several hundred meters.

Wu Ming and his two companions had just escaped less than five miles when they felt a flying sword rushing towards them in the sky behind them. They quickly found a place to hide and saw two flying swords flying over their heads. It was the two people who were chasing them. When they saw that the two people were far away, Wu Ming and his two companions came out.

"Once they chase us for a distance and don't find us, they will definitely know that they have caught up with us and will definitely come back. Should we ambush them here or run in another direction?" Wu Ming asked.

"An ambush will only waste time. When that Foundation Establishment cultivator arrives, none of us will be able to escape. This place is less than five miles away from the medicine garden. A Foundation Establishment cultivator can arrive here in just a few dozen breaths on his sword. We cannot guarantee that we can kill those two people in just a few dozen breaths. What's more, even if we kill them, it will not affect the overall situation." Huang Hao said.

"Can we find a place to hide? There should be some important places in this cave that are restricted. We can hide in there and wait for the reinforcements brought by Zhao Xiaohai." Mei Lingshuang looked at an attic not far ahead.

"That's a good idea. Let's go quietly." Several people agreed with this suggestion, and then they ran towards the attic. Just as the three of them were about to reach the attic, a powerful aura came towards them. It was that Senior Brother Ouyang.

"There is a road to heaven but you don't take it, and there is no door to hell but you break in. You deserve to die." Senior Brother Ouyang said.

"Senior, we simply stumbled into this cave by mistake. We didn't intend to explore your secrets," Wu Ming said. Wu Ming didn't know what the senior meant by this, so he could only speak as he ran.

"I wanted to let you go, but you insisted on coming to my door and even killed my junior brother." Senior Brother Ouyang said as he sent out a wind blade which rushed towards the three people.

Seeing a wind blade flying towards them, everyone tried their best to block it. Wu Ming threw out several earth wall talismans, which shattered the moment they hit the wind blade, failing to block it in the slightest. Mei Lingshuang also cast several ice walls in front of her, which also shattered instantly. Huang Hao then summoned a tower-shaped treasure to block the three of them. With a loud bang, the wind blade was blocked by the tower-shaped treasure. Huang Hao's mouth was bleeding, indicating that he was also seriously injured.

"Another treasure? A top-tier magical weapon? Not bad, not bad. It can block my casual attack, so it's undoubtedly a top-tier magical weapon. What an unexpected reward." Brother Ouyang's eyes lit up when he saw Huang Hao's magical weapon blocking his wind blade. He slapped his storage bag, and a moon wheel flew up towards Wu Ming and the others.

"My treasure can only block one attack from the opposite side at most. We need to enter this attic as soon as possible. You should try your best to create a gap in the restriction to let us in." Huang Hao said weakly.

Seeing the enemy taking matters into their own hands and summoning their magical instruments, Wu Ming and his companions knew they had to fight tooth and nail. Wu Ming first placed a Vajra Talisman in front of him. This was one of the two second-tier talismans he had purchased at the Talisman Hall during a previous mission. It could create a wall of energy in front of him, capable of blocking a blow from a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Huang Hao saw that Wu Ming had such a treasure, "You still have the Vajra Talisman, so we should be able to get in now. The three of us should attack with our maximum attack power, and we should be able to break a small gap."

After the three of them made their decision, Huang Hao immediately retracted the tower-shaped treasure and charged towards the restriction on the attic. Mei Lingshuang also pulled out a Heavenly Thunder Seed, a one-time treasure that contained a trace of thunder power. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be seriously injured if not killed. The difficulty lies in its difficulty, otherwise it would be a good choice to use against the opposing cultivator. Wu Ming also distressedly pulled out his last second-level talisman, the Fire Bird Talisman, and together they attacked the restriction.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator on the opposite side was shocked to see the three people taking out so many treasures that could be used against Foundation Establishment cultivators. Fortunately, he was not arrogant enough to rush in front of them, but only attacked them with magic weapons from a distance, otherwise he might have been defeated.
